Long time Audirvāna user on a PC usb out to Pontus 2 DAC
Pontus DAC was a big upgrade for me
by the way Audirvāna by passes all the computers audio systems and talk directly to you DAC via usb
i have now replaced the Pc and Audirvāna for a Raspberry Pi with Moode Audio software powered by a PurePi 2 with signal out via a Pi2aes hat providing I2s out put
this system is maxed out at 24/192
all my file are 16/44.1 and passed via I 2s to Pontus 2 DAC at the same level
this combination is significantly better than Audirvāna and PC
i still prefer the Audirvāna interface but more than happy to give it up for the upgrade in sound
The rest of my system includes a Schitt Audio Freya S ( non tube ) preamp out to a Decware Torii Jr amp the to La Scalas
